I Built an AI Chatbot That Talks, Blinks, and Looks Around!

I built an AI chatbot with animatronic eyes and a Neopixel mouth… and yes, it actually talks, blinks, and looks around! It's powered by a Raspberry Pi 5, and this little robot listens to your voice, thinks using a cloud-based AI model, and then responds with speech and physical expression. In this video, I walk through the whole build, from upgrading my old animatronic eye mechanism to wiring up six servos on a PCA9685 board to getting OpenAI’s API running on the Pi for text, speech, and real-time responses.
